Clifton VA Crawl Space Transition

This Clifton VA crawl space originally had gravel floors with black plastic materials covering it in an effort to "manage" the moisture and wetness in the space.  Traditional methods like that do not really work and can often create more problems than it eliminates.  Plastic material,  covering cold, wet floors can actually trap moisture below and add to the musty, mildew heavy smells in the space and promote poor air quality in the home above.  Our production team began this transformation by covering the gravel with the brown drainage liner shown in the "before" photo.  This keeps moisture and air below the eventually sealed floor covering and allows air to move and help the moisture evaporate.  Clean Space was later used across the entire surface and up the crawl space walls.
